1. A surgical system, comprising:
a surgical visualization system configured to image a structure associated with a patient, wherein the surgical visualization system is configured to generate imaging data associated with the structure;
a display operably coupled to the surgical visualization system; and
a control circuit operably coupled to the display and the surgical visualization system, wherein the control circuit is configured to:
display, on the display, a three-dimensional digital representation of the structure based on the imaging data received from the surgical visualization system;
display, on the display, a proposed resection path along the three-dimensional digital representation of the structure, wherein the proposed resection path is configured to yield a retained portion of the structure and a removed portion of the structure;
display, on the display, real-time images of the structure based on the imaging data received from the surgical visualization system; and
calculate a volume of the retained portion of the structure based on the imaging data received from the surgical visualization system.
